Im considering a set of 20" rims for my superduty and wanted to know what size width and backspacing I should get..
I am going to eventually put a leveling kit on it but want to be able to run 35" tires with no rub. But i dont want a wheel that juts out 8 inches from the wheel well and what width do you guys reccomend?

A large percentage of aftermarket wheels don't meet the load rating of the stock Superduty wheel. Some are as much as 1,000#+ short. No problem if you don't ever tow or haul but if you do, you can break one of those cast wheels in an instant. Tire selection in load-range "E" in 20" is pretty thin too.

here's mine its a 99 f-250 4x4 powerstroke these are 305-50 20's. had slight rub on the flares on the backside of the wheel well. priced the leveling kit but decided to go with the fabtec 5.5" lift kit instead. got the kit for $1850.00 installed NEW FRNT SPRINGS AND FRNT AND REAR SHOCKS ALL INCLUDED

My 05 and 07 Harley Edition Super Duty came stock with 20" wheels. The only issue I had was replacement tires with load E rating. As far as I know only Goodyear makes a replacement tire. But if anyone else knows of another option please enlighten me.
